Advanced  Drafting  Desk  Organizer  Mr.  Vanemon  

 

Drafting: The Desk Organizer

   RATIONAL:  It  sees  no  matter  where  you  are  trying  to  work  you  have  to  constantly  move  items  around  the  desktop  or  to  another  surface  to  make  room  for  your  work.  Wouldn’t  it  be  nice  to  be  able  to  design  specialized  organizers  to  increase  your  organization  and  therefor  improve  your  productivity?    DESIGN  STATEMENT/OBJECTIVE:  Design  a  desktop  organizer.    CONSTRAINTS:  

• Footprint:  The  Desk  Organizer  footprint  should  not  exceed  5”  X  10”  or  50  square  inches.  • Materials:  The  Desk  Organizer  must  include  a  recessed  area,  a  bent  plastic  part  and  

should  have  a  wood  base  made  of  ¾”  pine  (laminated  ¼”  +  ½”).  (These  constraints  are  used  so  students  fabricate  their  design  and  get  experience  using  the  band  saw,  the  3D  printer,  the  laser  cutter/engraver  and  the  strip  heater.)  

• Theme:  The  design  should  be  based  on  a  theme.  • Items:  The  Design  must  be  able  to  hold  6-­‐8  different  items    

   REQUIRED  OUTPUTS/DELIVERABLES:  

• Initial  Brainstorm  [items  (40),  materials  (30),  themes  (30)]  • Theme/Shapes  Sketches  (at  least  10  themes  sketched)  • Demonstrate  how  sections  will  hold  what  items,  evidence  in  sketches  • Concept  1  Sketch  (Isometric  1)  • Concept  1  Sketch  (Isometric  2)
